' IcAQBLE ANGER f ap pncanon med m To all whom it'may 00mm.- "Be it known that LWARREN'BOLEf, aciti- Zen of the United States, residing at Lodi, in the county of Medinaandstate of Ohio have invented certain new and useful Tm V prov'ements in Cable Hangers, of which the 7 following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to i jprovements in cable hangers, and moreparticularlyto that class or'-typelemplo'yedfor suspending electrio cables from supporting or-Fmessenger wires.

My invention relates more particularly to what may be termeda double or two part" improved attachment in the specific form of a second hanger or auxiliary cable receiving and supporting loop adapted to be readily attached to or detached from any ordinary or conventional form of cable hanger.

With the above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in one of its embodiments in the accompanying drawings and particularly; pointed out in the appended claims. 7

Referring to the drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is an edge'or end elevation of a cable hanger, constructed in accordance with this invention, the messenger wire and supported cables being shown in cross section and in dotted lines, respectively. I Fig.2, a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3, a fragmentary cross sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference'designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings.

The main cable hanger embodying theusual cable receiving and supportingloop 1, for supporting the overhead cable 2, may. be of any suitable or conventionalform, the

the. present instance, in projections 4, extending inwardly, said pro ect1ons 4 in the present lnstanc'e, being in thespecific form of short hooks adapted to enter into openings 1, the latter being preferably arranged near the top or upper portions of the main loop l. The purpose of the second hanger,

or of the supplementary attachment consisting of the parts l and P, is to provide a second loop to receive and carry alsecond" cable the a plurality of service wires, or

the like, or such second cable and' one or more service wires may be conveniently carried therein, and it will he apparent that the cables 01' wires carried in the loop 4; may be readily detached on occasion by detaching the arms 4*, thereby withdrawingthe projections or hooks 4 from the openings 1,

and in order to provide for the convenient attachment of the -second hanger or loop, the conventional form of loop 1 may be prosuch openings 1 .to later receive the second hanger orloop when the particular demands render'the same necessary or desirable insusp-ending additional cables or service wires from a single messenger wire 3.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood. c

Having thus described one of the embodiments of my invention, without having at-f 70 1 The second orauxiliai y hanger-is preferably made up of a single length of spring vided when originally manufactured with tempted to set forth all the forms which it may bemade, or allthe modes of its use,
